Chapter 369: The Fall of the Yong'an Army
On the afternoon of November 6, the fourth year of Chongzhen, the school field outside Datong Town was hunting and hunting, and a large-scale military parade was about to be ushered in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
A group of new and old soldiers lined up and walked into the school field, and finally divided into nine square formations in front of the general's platform, and a general on the platform was dressed in gold-lacquered mountain pattern armor, and the one holding the Qi family knife was Xiao Yi, the current chief military officer of Datong Town.
At the front of the platform, there were already nine generals with helmets and armor standing on their swords, just silently watching the sergeants who kept entering the school field.
In addition to most of the fresh faces, there are also some acquaintances, and these veterans of the Yongan Army have become grassroots officers in the current Yongan Army, assisting in the management of battalion drills, sentinels, and patrols.
Xiao Yi held the knife and watched the steps and expressions of each recruit and veteran intently, nodding his head constantly until everyone had already stood in the school field.
Xiao Yihu raised his hand, and everyone focused their eyes on him.
I saw Xiao Yi pacing slowly on the stage, and opened his mouth to say: "Half a month has passed, and after days of examination and settlement, Ben Jiang can already say such a sentence. ”
"You are the best foundation since the Yongan Army's five expansions!"
Hearing this, these soldiers were all happy, and before they could be happy, Xiao Yi changed his words, and his words gradually became stern.
"Don't think that joining my Yong'an Army is over, this is just the beginning, the military regulations under the rule of this general have always been strict, and there is no room for the slightest sloppiness, and the day and night training is uninterrupted!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Yi looked around at the people in the field, took a sharp breath, pointed to the back, and said sharply: "What you are going to face is not only those rogues, not the usual mountain bandits, but the extremely vicious Jurchens, at this moment, in Liaodong. ”
"These evil Jurchens are still slaughtering my Han people, trying in vain to steal the great rivers and mountains of my country, the soldiers of my Yong'an Army, do you agree!?"
Many of these soldiers were refugees from various parts of Xuandae and Gyeonggi, who had only lived a good life under the policy of Ulju, and Xiao Yi's words reminded them of the precarious days of the past, and the slaves who slaughtered their own relatives.
The emotions were all driven, and when they were sprouting, the generals and veterans of the battalions at the forefront raised their swords and guns in their hands at the right time and shouted in unison.
"No!"
With the veteran army taking the lead, these recruits all found their backbones, and they also yelled hoarsely.
The roar went straight into the sky, reaching the town a few miles away.
"Good!"
Xiao Yi looked at these soldiers, and he was also full of passion.
Unknowingly, the sergeants under his command have grown from dozens of people at the beginning to more than 10,000 people today!
Lined up on the school grounds, you can only see the crowds of people, and you can't see the edge at a glance.
When the voice gradually subsided, Xiao Yi raised his voice and said loudly.
"In this army expansion, the Yongan Army is divided into nine barracks, and there are five camps, and the battalion officers and adjutants of each battalion come forward!"
When the main drama arrived, as soon as Xiao Yi's voice fell, the generals who were standing at the forefront stepped forward.
Gao Liang and Wang Dashan stood behind Huang Yang and served as the deputy battalion officers of the first battalion; Bucket Liu stood behind Shi Lu as the deputy battalion officer of the second battalion; Qi Zhan once stood behind Shi Gang and was the deputy battalion officer of the third battalion; Zheng Cuo (Brother Wrong Son) stood behind Wang Dayong and was the deputy battalion officer of the fourth battalion; Gu San Mazi stood behind Yang Liqing, as the deputy battalion officer of the fifth battalion,
Among these people, there are not only the veterans of Liaodong, but also a few rising stars who are among the best in battle, they are the adjutants of the five battalions of the Yongan Army, and the five people who assisted Huang Yang, Shi Lu, Shi Gang, Wang Dayong, and Yang Liqing, all of whom have the post of deputy commander.
After they arrived, as the five people of Huangyang knelt in unison, a team of sergeants who had been waiting for a long time dragged the copper plate and other things forward.
They looked up and saw several items in the bronze medal in front of them.
In addition to a bright knife tied with a big red ribbon for command, there are also the iron armor of the deputy battalion officer, the spring and winter military uniforms, the sterling silver refined waist plate and other Yong'an Army things, and the deputy thousand chief officials of the imperial court are also available in the official uniform and the appointment documents issued by Xiao Yi.
Compared with the ethereal title of the imperial court, they paid more attention to the items of the Yong'an Army, and they all took it with trembling hands and roared excitedly.
"The last general will live up to the high expectations of the general, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and make new contributions!"
In order to show his attention, Xiao Yi personally stepped down from the general's platform, helped them up one by one and said a few words, just a few simple actions and a few words, which left a deep impression in the eyes of the officers and men of the whole army.
Returning to the general platform, Xiao Yi continued: "The night detachment was expanded into a battalion system, called the 'Flying Cavalry Battalion', Liu was competent as the battalion officer, and Gao Shan was the deputy. ”
Compared with Liu Sheng's giggling, Gao Shan looked incredulous, trembling with excitement, he never thought that he could be a camp officer, and immediately came out with Liu Sheng to receive the order after reacting.
"After the expansion of the cavalry battalion, it was renamed the 'Domain Cavalry Battalion', and the battalion officer is still Zhou Baotai, and Lai Damao and Wei Zhongwu are your deputies."
The three of them glanced at each other, all of them were in the right colors, and they all hugged their fists to receive the order.
Nodding, Xiao Yi looked at Liu Tong and Gu Lin and said.
"The firearms battalion and the baggage battalion are also in the regular barracks this time, and the two of you should be loyal to your duties and live up to the high expectations of the general."
Hearing this, Liu Tong and Gu Lin took a deep breath, strode into the ranks of generals in front of them, and hugged their fists.
"The last general understands!"
During this whole process, the recruits in the back looked at everything that happened in front of them with an extremely reverent and envious look.
Now these generals who are kneeling in front of the stage are the senior officers after the expansion of the Yongan Army!
Everyone wants to be as majestic as these people in front of them, to get power and honor, not to mention the glorious lintel, and even the general to meet in person, just thinking about it is exciting.
At this time, the military uniforms and armor of the recruits were not as neat as the old army, and most of them were the veterans of the garrison and the Zhenwei battalion from all over the country, although their armor was also ironclad, but it was not the same as that of the Yongan army.
There are also a few former peasants, who were selected for the Yong'an Army because they are particularly good, and most of them wear old clothes, and many of them are in tattered clothes.
But these people all have one thing in common, they are all full of energy and excitement.
After Xiao Yi gave the order, soldiers continued to come from both sides of the platform carrying large wooden boxes, which contained the clothes and armor of these recruits.
After seeing these large wooden boxes, the recruits seemed to have guessed something, and they were constantly looking at them while sticking their necks.
When the boxes were opened one by one, the sounds of surprise appeared on the school grounds.
The full set of iron armor, stainless steel knives, giant shields, and steel tiger spears in the box were all shining, and many people had never seen such a sophisticated armor weapon in their lives.
"Hey, this..."
"This is the armor and swords and guns of the Yongan Army!"
Even if someone has been a military household before and has obtained the armor and weapons issued by the imperial court, it is fundamentally incomparable and far from the Yong'an army.
Moreover, the Yong'an Army has a rule that the armor and weapons sent down will become your own, even if you die in battle, you can not only leave the name of the Yong'an Fort Ancestral Hall, but also pass on the armor and weapons to future generations.
After nearly an hour of replacement, the soldiers of the Yongan Army once again stood tall on the school grounds.
This time, except for the bird gunners and cavalrymen who need to adapt slowly, every soldier of the Yongan Army is fully armed from head to toe.
He wears a shiny hat on his head, thick iron armor, red gloves on his hands, and iron boots.
Xiao Yi stood on the stage, and at a glance there was a sea of steel, and the glittering cold light of the spear forest echoed with steel knives and shields, forming a real steel thorn.
